A+ Case Monolize ATX Full Tower Case

Conclusion

The Aplus CS Monolize is a very well proportioned case that is well built and looks pretty decent, especially when lit up. Mostly built to a very good standard, there are a few niggles that you may not find in some of the more expensive cases out there.

The looks of a case is a very personal thing but I actually have grown to quite like the Monolize case. OK, it's not your £200 top-end all-alu chassis, but it is good looking with only a touch of "gaming case bling".

Coming onto the price, £70 from one of our trusted retailors seems very good value to me for such a large case with some of the features I've mentioned. That's a full half of the price of the Silverstone TJ09 I reviewed earlier.

The A+ Case Monolize get's a "Value For Money" Award and "Recommended" for being a well made, attractive case well inside most people's case budget.

In all seriousness tho, the internals of the case closely resemble the Thermaltake XaserII I have laying empty next to me. The lower drive area has been rotated and rejigged, but even looking at the front - it has the same pinching insertion things u stick to u`r devices. (the XaserII comes with a temp and fan control that fits into the top 5.25 bay, which I removed cos I never got it working >.< )

Those pci blank plate things are a pita without the top piece thing, good to see the inclusion of that to the spec.
